Yes, and on an inflation-adjusted basis we spend more on K-12 education than ever before.

It isn't a funding problem. It's a problem with how we spend that money.

So true. We allocate lots of money to education. Just it goes to administrative, consulting and testing expenses, rather than to improving the education provided.
